The orientation-bias hypothesis states that there is a bias to attend to the right visual hemifield (RVF) when there is spatial competition between stimuli in the left and right hemifield [Pollmann, S. (1996). A pop-out induced extinction-like phenomenon in neurologically intact subjects. Neuropsychologia, 34(5), 413– 425. doi:10.1016/0028-3932(95)00125-5]. In support of this hypothesis, strong...

To evaluate the clarithromycin pharmacokinetics after atorvastatin single and repeated dose administration in induced hyperlipidemic Wistar rats. A standard cholesterol diet (2% cholesterol) was used to induce hyperlipidemia and feed was given to rats for 6-8 weeks. Group’s allocation as follows: G1-G3: Induced hyperlipidemic rats pretreatment of atorvastatin as a single dose followed by clarit...

Models of attention are based on the notion that top-down signals from frontal cortex influence the processing of information in early visual areas (Desimone and Duncan, 1995). The manner, through which such a putative interaction occurs, however, is not clear. We recorded the neuronal activity in the frontal eye fields (area FEF) and the primary visual cortex (area V1) while monkeys were perfo...

Although feline urine is increasingly submitted for bacterial culture and susceptibility testing as part of a more general diagnostic work-up for a range of presentations in veterinary practice, bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are relatively uncommon due to a variety of physical and immunological barriers to infection. Culture positive urine is most often obtained from older female ca...

This study investigated how visual attention differed between those who correctly versus incorrectly answered introductory physics problems. We recorded eye movements of 24 individuals on six different conceptual physics problems where the necessary information to solve the problem was contained in a diagram. The problems also contained areas consistent with a novicelike response and areas of h...

Remotely sensed imagery is a type of data that is compatible with the monitoring and mapping of changes in built-up and bare land within urban areas as the impacts of population growth and urbanisation increase. The application of currently available remote sensing indices, however, has some limitations with respect to distinguishing built-up and bare land in urban areas. In this study, a new i...
